Thoughts about the website in general

[administrator]

It definitely looks like being the admin is giving me the small line options that you don't see. I also don't have the big Edit or Quote buttons that you see. I could see where admins may have more options because there are some times when I might want to say something about a post but don't want to butt into the conversation. Then again I could see that it would be nice for a regular user to have the same option. So I guess what I'm saying is, I don't know.

VBulletin is changing a ton of things in the forum software and the new version 6 is no exception. That's one of the reasons for the database getting scrogged when I converted to the new version. Even the minor version upgrades have done pretty big changes. So things are changing and we'll be figuring them out together.

On my end the options I see on the lower right hand corner of the post are IP, Edit, Quote, Comment, Flag and Set as Answer. What are you seeing?

Let me throw another wrinkle into this for you, Frank. I am seeing IP, Edit, Quote, and Flag, but not Comment and Set as Answer. My admin is giving different options from your admin, both of which are different from what the regular account is seeing.

But maybe not a problem we need to risk solving? Right now everybody seems to be able to do what they need to do, a blessing not always granted by the capricious gods of VBulletin. Safest fix might be you just use 'quote' instead of 'comment' so nobody knows.

I got to say I like the new look of the website, it looks very clean and modern. Thank you administradors but keeping it running and clean away from scammers. As for selling other bikes that arent Suzuki GS? I don't really care, but I think it may bring more folks into the site.

You are seeing a difference because in the structure of the forum and how it handles permissions. I am what you can consider a level one administrator and you would be like a level two. So while you have the ability to perform mod functions like infractions and bans, you don't have the ability to create new forums and set up underlying mechanisms like templates etc.. So I'm sure the two options you are missing are wrapped up in those functions you don't have access to.

Obviously the difference. I am little curious why making a making a comment on an individual post would only be at the highest tech level. I would more expect that to be in the moderator function which we discovered is actually weaker in the current version than in previous ones. But I bow to the wisdom of the VBulletin gods.

Am I wrong, or did Don’s username used to have “moderator” under it? Mandela Effect?

I like the idea of more sections for other bikes, not just classifieds. A GS doesn't fit my foreseeable lifestyle so I ride something else, but when I have a question about bikes, the folks on this forum are the ones I want to talk to. I would spend more time here if people were open to more threads on other bikes and the forum was setup for it. I feel like people are, but for example it just doesn't feel right posting a Triumph suspension question in the GS suspension section.

I feel like 'brand specific' might be too refined for a small forum, unless maybe it's a sub-category of 'other.' I'm not likely to click through threads on bikes I have no knowledge or interest in, but would click through anything technical in a general forum.

An "other" forum? Like this?
